Haha. Wrote something in that direction too (also with vb6)
it was some sort of snake, but just a ball which didn't get bigger 
1 Forms timer, lots of repeated code, and collision detection was a complete failure (sometimes you were able to "jump" through walls)... ah good memories. one of my very first applications I every wrote

I used to write games in COBOL and Fortran on TI-990s and Prime minis - but that's about it.

I coded up a couple of cute bits on a Wang wordprocessor once, does that count - old farts unite!!!

They all count
I did a Dig Dug clone on Emacs

Since ever I've only been working on business management and banking/financial apps.
Either windows or web based, but no gaming experience on this side.
cheers!

Same here. Would love to have a stab at games but it just gets left at the bottom of my "list of things to do". Normally due to my kids demanding that they want to bundle me or work demanding I creat the next cost saving application!!

Yeah same here. I've been programming on wall street for 25 years. Always thought it would be neat to write a game, but just never quite got around to it.
Over on Google+ there's a "one game a month" community that's an awful lot of fun to watch. But I've got too much else to do with my time to be writing games.
Bad enough I play them.

Yeah too true, too true.
The financial down turn this last year or so has really made companies look at "cost saving". So all those little modules of excellence developed to help with that have kept me really busy. I have had the oppertunatiy to turn my xbox on a couple of times but to be frank, time just evaporates.
How is life on the street? maybe we could team up and develop a financial game that users use to save as much money off-shore whilst dodging taxation missiles and audit bullets..... oh, sorry, got mistaken for real life.

heh. Programmer job market on Wall is never TOO bad. There are so many people who have NO idea what they're doing that a reasonable programmer with some experience and the ability to find their arse at dinnertime after a burrito lunch can get hired.
Just know C++, Unix scripting (incl perl or python, but preferably perl) and SQL really well.
And for the love of God, go w2 contracting, not full time.

I selected all but console, and it doesn't look like all my selections were counted.

Try restarting you computer and make sure it's plugged in 
It's an OO world.
public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
}

"No" trumps everything.
